Your attorney-in-fact acts for you at your request and for purposes of convenience. She/he has no right to take possession of and keep your property. If that has happened, revoke the POA and demand the return of all of your property to you. Notify any institution where your attorney-in-fact used the POA that it has been revoked. Then you can appoint a new attorney-in-fact. Self-dealing by an attorney-in-fact is against the law and you should not allow a person who you don't trust to have access to your property.

Letting a financial power of attorney loose in the world is not something to be done without careful thought and planning. This is so because an agent named in a financial power of attorney can use the document to do bad things. This can include outright theft or something more subtle. For example, a child who is appointed agent in a durable power of attorney, watching his or her inheritance melt away by reason of caregiver and medical expense, might engage in a quiet little program of pre-death asset distribution or skimp on an elderly parent's needs.

A power of attorney doesn't keep anything. They have the ability to handle the transactions on behalf of the person that granted the power of attorney. On the death of the individual, all items go to the estate.

Can your attorney in fact under your power of attorney keep you from returning home even if your doctor says it is okay?

No. A POA gives no such power over your person or affairs to the attorney in fact. The AIF can only act upon your request and for your convenience. If you are still of sound mind, you can simple revoke your Power of Attorney at any time and without delays. Even without revoking the power of attorney, you still have the right to make decisions in your own behalf. Read the Power you signed. If it was done properly, all of this is clearly stated.For someone to have that kind of authority over you they would need to be appointed your guardian by a court of law.


Can a person with a general power of attorney conduct someone's business affairs?

Yes. You may contact creditors and inform them of the situation. This will not keep them from intitiating collection action or reporting to credit agencies. Having a power of attorney does not make the person financially obligated. In some (not all) states a power of attorney grants legal authority to file bankruptcy or other actions on behalf of the debtor.
